Rust adoption milestone: C++ team doesn't want to write in C++ anymore

686 points MaterialFerret

Some background - I'm in a C++ team consisting of 5 engineers (4 C++ devs, 1 Python dev). Our main "product" is a C++20 service and to make life easier for other teams and ourselves, we wanted to create a "mock" of this service. The idea was particularly well received.

Long story short, we voted which language to choose for this new promising project. Only two of us know Rust but we did not expect such win and absolutely zero votes for C++...

C++ Apocalypse

Yet another milestone in Rust adoption! Cheers from Switzerland! :)
